QuoteReplyTopic: Verizons New DVR Will Spy On You Posted: Dec 25 2012 at 4:58am

"Google TV, Microsoft, Comcast, and now Verizon have all submitted
patent applications to create televisions and DVRs that will watch you
as you watch TV.

Earlier this month, news came out that Verizon
applied for a patent to create a DVR sometime in the future that has
cameras and microphones that can see and hear what you're doing and
saying, while watching TV. Sounds, actions, food choices, and your
ethnicity -- all tracked by the DVR -- will influence what you see in
your commercial breaks."*

Verizon has patented a DVR that will
listen and watch you and respond accordingly. Is this going too far? Why
isn't this invasion of privacy getting more attention? Cenk Uygur and
Ana Kasparian discuss the idea of a corporation spying on people in
their homes.

dont you know that old phrase...once its made it to the public they've already been doing/using it for 20 years or so? not to mention there has been plenty of threads like this before. its old news. everything everywhere is being designed to watch/listen to you....the only thing new is new companies jumpin on the bandwagon. its even been said before on bhm but you know how no one believes anything until they see it for themselves.

so when your sitting in your living room watching television the commercials change based on what you are currently doing or personal conversations you are having?
